Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).
When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".
When the boat is still being built, your say "it".
When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".
When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".
When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.
If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").
If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")
If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").
If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.
If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.
I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

Let's say that hypothetically, this is purely hypothetical and did not occur that you get on the amtrak train and make your way to your seat and are obviously exhausted because you had to wake up early and when you get to your seat there is a fucking Canadian Goose standing there in your seat, what would you recommend that someone in that situation does

god im going to be fucking hallucinating this video for months ok there’s just so much to this to break down
the initial fact they’re talking through a hand puppet with the oobi eyes 
the horrible, horrible desynch between their words and the movements of the hand 
lack of any clear place the hand is looking 
“dwells in the depths”. just the whole sentence itself and the weird inflection on it.
the fact that the dude clearly already discovered this thing and was so moved by it they went to record it 
“wuoah”, and the split second of open-palmed hand that no longer resembles a puppet 
the weird fade in on the music and the fact it sounds a little distorted at first 
the very specific but undefinable emotion conveyed by the music 
the inconsistent zoom

I love the Hello From The Hallowoods character wikis. I like seeing what people have put down as their gender.

Characters who are yellow coded not as in joy and optimism but, rather, yellow as in the first color the human eye will notice, plastered over hazard signs and school buses. Yellow as in a light so bright it burns. Yellow as in illness and disease, just waiting to infect. Yellow as deception, a cover up for something with teeth and claws and malice. Can anyone hear me
